I think resolving the issues that are making you think those thoughts is the definitive answer, but obviously if you could do that then you wouldn't be thinking them in the first place.

I find trying to distract myself away from the thoughts also doesn't help, but if i watch something that makes me laugh then that usually works, even if its only temporary, because i find trying to watch TV or play games doesn't really do it. Try finding something that you know makes you laugh your ass off even if you are depressed

I agree with this wholeheartedly. The better the laugh, the more distracted I become. Arrested Development is almost like my cure-all to depression and suicidal thoughts, at least for a moment. And those unfixated moments, no matter how few and fr between, are very needed!

I have a problem with this one too. My therapist says that the more you do throughout your day, the less "space" exists for the suicidal thoughts and feelings. I know it can be really difficult to get yourself going, but if you can, then it's definitely helpful.

I'll be honest sometimes i enjoy feeling suicidal, i can't explain why because i simply just don't know.

I spend most of my time playing video games, watching youtube and roaming through here, which distracts me from everything, but it's a very lonely life, well i'd hardly call it a life.

Yeah I used to play bbc2 online with the same crowd everynight,pure escapism and that kind of made my life semi tolerable.
I don't have that anymore as I'm back at my mums house like a fucking leech so the grim reality has set in now again.
